They also have a torture page (edit: oops, I see now that it is just a redirect to Interrogation):

http://24.wikia.com/wiki/Torture

And an amputation page:

(but a couple of those incidents don't involve torture; I remember being extremely put off by the scene in day 8 (I guess I switched it off before the scene was complete).

Now I wonder how mainstream 24 really is, given how over the top it seems.

It won 20 Emmy's and was pretty well-rated in its time.

I could/should have said something like "I wonder how prevalent approval for those depictions really is".
